James Emory (Jimmy) Garrison (March 3, 1934 – April 7, 1976) was an American jazz double bassist born in Miami, Florida. He is best remembered for his long association with John Coltrane from 1961–1967. ==Career== Garrison was raised in both Miami, Florida and Philadelphia where he learned to play bass. Garrison came of age in the midst of a thriving Philadelphia jazz scene that included fellow bassists Reggie Workman and Henry Grimes, pianist McCoy Tyner and trumpeter Lee Morgan. Between 1957 and 1962, Garrison played and recorded with trumpeter Kenny Dorham; clarinetist Tony Scott; drummer Philly Joe Jones; and saxophonists Bill Barron, Lee Konitz, and Jackie McLean, as well as Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson, Lennie Tristano, Pharoah Sanders, and Tony Scott, among others.〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jimmy-garrison-mn0000853359/biography〕 In 1959 he first appeared on record with Ornette Coleman on "Art of the Improvisers" (Atlantic, 1959).〔My Favorite Things (album)〕 He continued to work with many leaders, including Walter Bishop, Jr., Coleman, Dorham, and Cal Massey for the next two years. He formally joined Coltrane's quartet in 1962, replacing Workman. The long trio blues "Chasin' the Trane" is probably his first recorded performance with Coltrane and Elvin Jones. Garrison performed on many classic Coltrane recordings, including ''A Love Supreme''. In concert with Coltrane, Garrison would often play unaccompanied improvised solos, sometimes as the prelude to a song before the other musicians joined in. After Coltrane's death, Garrison worked and recorded with Hampton Hawes, Archie Shepp, Clifford Thornton and groups led by Elvin Jones.〔 Garrison also had a long association with Ornette Coleman, first recording with him on ''Ornette on Tenor'' and ''Art of the Improvisers''. He and drummer Elvin Jones have been credited with eliciting more forceful playing than usual from Coleman on the albums ''New York is Now'' and ''Love Call''. In 1971 and 1972, Garrison taught as a Visiting Artist at Wesleyan University〔http://www.jazz.com/encyclopedia/garrison-jimmy-james-emory〕 and Bennington College〔The Biographical Encyclopedis of Jazz, Feather & Gitlin, 2007, Oxford (p.92)〕. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jimmy Garrison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
